Witness the GREATEST strongman competition of all time? | 2023 Strongman Classic

[@thomasfleisch2971]

Atlas stones also known as the "who comes second to Tom Stoltman" contest. Evan killed me there

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

mitch said that

[@knsema2]

​@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMANthe transition in the voice over tricked me as well

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

@@knsema2 you guys need to clean your ears haha

[@WhistlingWhiteWolf]

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Still insane that Mitch was 2nd on stones at World's considering Trey, Evan, Brian and Pavlo were there 🫡🫡🫡 Props to him

[@aaronbarlow4376]

That's like when Thor was competing from 2018-2020 every deadlift and weight over bar was 'who comes second to Thor' lol.

[@scottmacgregor3444]

Big respect to Evan for putting it all together and beating such a powerful lineup. You really took another big step forward.

[@freyaviii1616]

The last few years of strongman we really have been blessed. A huge roster of supremely likeable men, with no clear winner every show. Be it Martins, Evan, Mitchel, Tom, Oleksiy.. it's always an outrageously good showing - massive respect for all the hard work, and genuinely kind souls, that make this sport the greatest on earth.

Great video Giants live. Thank you for letting as see the full competition

[@domology-r4k]

9 second Yoke is insane. Let's go Mitch

[@Onlynevs]

That was awesome, got me seriously pumped for the next one!

[@johnyoung5413]

This was the best giants show I’ve been to so far and this was the 4th one. Great lineup, great performances, great atmosphere

[@RussVerbofsky]

Great competitive competition!! Congrats T-Rex!

[@Nick-gg6tg]

Love the pre-comp commentary

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

Thank you!

[@shovelhead4558]

Hooper is a superb technician bringing the sport forward.

[@gotzvonunentberlichingen1452]

You know the stones were hard when not even Trey couldn’t get them all up.

[@WhistlingWhiteWolf]

I thought something similar at World's, only 3 guys completed the stones.

[@firstnamemain2464]

They should always be that hard to be fair. Makes it so much more interesting. Even Tom could mess up if he gets the wrong grip.

[@CankleCankle]

Trey said he can rep 200k something musta went wrong

[@LunchThyme]

@@CankleCankle Tacky malfunction looked like. Same deal for Hooper on the fourth one.

[@JohnSmith-wo2fz]

@@CankleCankle Yeah looked like they had no grip, either wasn't enough of it applied or it wore off much faster than it should have.

[@PronatorTendon]

Excellent job Evan and all the rest of the strongmen, it's a great time to be a fan 💪🏼

[@josecaravaca6838]

thank you very much for this video! I hadn`t expected it

[@JustinHSV17]

Love the sportmanship in your sport :)

[@johnnyvain544]

when when guys are so powerful and they KNOW they are, they are good sports. People that lack confidence and are weak mentally usually are the ones wanting to start shit.

[@BigNix1994]

Anyone see Evan use the rubber ring to nail that last stone, smart under that much pressure

[@sumyungguy2608]

13:03 As hilarious as this is it's actually such an amazing feat of strength. Imagine competing against the top 20 strongest men in the world and knowing that they'd have no chance at first place on that event because you're there.

[@Martingrelland]

Great show! Congrats to Evan looking forward to next year. 💪🦍

[@mono4643]

Rumor has it that having a sick stache gives +70% bonus to your STR stat.

[@cimerio602]

*_GREAT FANTASTIC👏👏_*

[@Sunsworn]

Great Job Hooper!

[@markstafford3227]

Just great to watch the TRex is definitely coming into his own . But the Tom the God Of Stones was the best event to watch for me he’s just unbeatable at stones .

[@TripleAJake]

Love strongman... Well played to Evan. However, what is that background tracking in this video, my good god. Could listen to that all day. Beautiful. Anyone know the track name?

I wanna be here and win 🕊️🕊️

I wish I had this announcer with me at the gym when Im working out. I would definitely hit some PR's.

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

Man They're freekn exiting athletes. Mitchel hooper. The stones. What's he gonna need to do to smash the last two next time?

[@webegamingYolo]

Only gripe i would love longer highlights 😅 but love the content

[@joeysaks6516]

That was epic

[@theclassicrock8644]

[@johnnyvain544]

i'd love to be that strong. i know ppl say just do it but its not that easy unless you make it your fulltime job, plus your genetics have to be right for it.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I can't imagine the pain of hook grip with those nickel stone handles.

[@mcfarvo]

Happy for Evan! Sad for Mitch (and Trey) stumbling on the stones!

[@gregmurray3725]

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Something happened with the tacky and stone crumbling or something on the atlas for Mitch apparently.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

No it was just very warm and everyone was struggling with their tacky

[@aaronbarlow4376]

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Then why did it just affect Mitch?

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

@@aaronbarlow4376 It didn't.... Trey mitchell didn't finish either and he's one of the best stone loaders ever. Evan was fortunate that the ring was on the back of the stone for him to grab or he'd have struggled too

As a strongman the biggest challenge is grip. The human hand contains very little muscle.

[@MichaelBrown-wx6zq]

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET A NORMAL STREAM OF THIS??

[@CankleCankle]

No, you must hear Kaz make everything awkward repeatedly

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

What do you mean? We do stream this?

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Tom basically one motioned all the atlas stones. Insane.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

He literally one motioned them all!

[@robertbriggs1968]

Williams was awesome

[@CankleCankle]

Can they just take it easy on the commentary? I don’t know why they need to be talking the entire time.

Mitch got a problem with the tacky?

Making sure all events suit Stoltmans, yeah, nothing to see here.

Is that why he won this show? Or how he's won WSM 3 times after completing 12 events? When you're the best in the world, you can do every event...

[@martinhansen6802]

Michell Hooper is the weakest strongman in recent times to have won WSM. Smoking the competition with tecnique and near perfect form

[@kucuser]

Whats the point of nicole stone carry? If it is to test grip strenght then hook grip should be banned. Hook grip is not testing forearm strenght its testing your tendons durability and your will to fight pain off. I think that most guys who switched from gripping bar in standard way to hook grip can make a statemeant that after a while you are actually loosing your grip strenght even while your numbers go up.

Strongmen are soft now. Air conditioned, shaded arena. Where are the days of doing these events in 110F blistering African sun? Now those guys, they were hardcore. Half these fat bodies today would keel over in the old format.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

This arena is the opposite of air conditioned. Also this era of strongman is a lot more conditioned than when WSM was in africa

[@roybatty-]

@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Definitely false. Strongmen were pushed to near death back in the early 2000's. In fact it was not uncommon for strongmen to die like Johnny Perry and Jesse Marunde. Also scary episodes were common like Kevin Knee collapsing multiple times. Today's strongmen come no where near the point of breaking. Hence why competitors like Brian Shaw were able to lumber around till they were much older.

[@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN]

@@roybatty- Are you trying to say you want more strongmen to die? Or that the strongmen back then were so much fitter than they couldn't handle it? What's the big difference between 100F african sun and 100F american sun? Myrtle beach was very hot this year, my sun burn will attest to that!
